ICE to sell proposed detention center site in Romulus

Attorney General Dana Nessel announced on Thursday that ICE has abandoned its plan to convert the Romulus warehouse into an immigration detention center, prompting it to sell the facility instead.  The warehouse was located on the 7500 block of Cogswell Street, where ICE purchased the location in February 2026. Nessel later said the purchase was made without notice to Michigan, the City of Romulus and without fulfilling statutory requirements.
